Significance
CRT has become a new line of division between Democrats and civil rights reformers, for whom it accurately describes embedded racism, and some Republicans who regard it as an outdated set of beliefs about race that violate a liberal tradition of colour blindness.
Impacts
Despite the current political salience of CRT, the term is rarely used in elementary and high school classrooms.
Critics of CRT see its influence ranging from university tenure battles to professional athletes taking the knee before games.
For many companies, a desire to increase diversity and affirm commitments to equality will outweigh calls to criticise CRT.
